Underground in Istanbul

The history of Basilica Cistern is one which makes me ponder about what else is underneath the surface of Istanbul.

Historically technology wasn’t available as it is today, and yet the precision of the construction is mind blowing.

🕰Business Hours: 10:00-22:00

🏖Ambiance/Facilities: Walking through the area takes about 30 minutes, great for a break from the sun, but also available at night.

📍Address: Basilica Cistern, Istanbul

💰Average Price per Person: 1400 Lira during the day and 2400 Lira per person after 19:00

💞Reasons to Recommend: A great trip down memory lane for many, and a great photo location with interchanging lights for portraits

🗓Itinerary Scheduling: A short distance walk from the Topkapi Palace

🏎 Getting there from Topkapi Palace is a brisk 7 to 10 minute walk up the hill
